Hi I'm Vicky & I'm 45 21 lol & have been married to my best friend Craig since I was 16. I have 3 grown up children, 2 of which still live at home with us. I have a severely disabled daughter Natalie who is 25 but has the mental age of a 3 month old baby & cannot do anything for herself at all & while hard work at times & she doesn't like to sleep, she makes us smile everyday with her beautiful smile & infectious laugh. We also have 2 sons, our eldest Ben who is nearly 27 & lives with his beautiful fiance & our 2 gorgeous grandchildren, Payton who is 5 & Arjay who is 4. You can read about Arjay's miracle arrival over on my blog here. We also have our youngest son Jake who is 21. We also have a goldendoodle named Poppy who is my spoilt baby. We are an extremely close family unit & still always holiday together all the time in our caravans.

Crafting is my escape & it also stops me from decorating as much which I also lurve to do. I love shabby chic style the most & like to try out new things & step out of my comfort zone when I can.

My favourite brands are Magnolia, Maja Design & Pion Design amongst many so when Suha emailed me on Saturday 8th July..........which was my birthday.......to ask if I would like to join her talented team using Swedish products, well whats a girl who loves Swedish products to say....YESSSSS!! There really was only one answer wasn't there lol. So I would like to thank Suha for putting the icing on my cake on Saturday & inviting me to be part of this wonderful team & designing for Swedish House Crafts. I really am truly honoured & have not stopped smiling since.

I'd like to start my journey with a little card I made on Saturday using Rose Cake Tilda and Roxstamps nesting dies I bought from SHC lately.







Here is an easter card I made using the Pion Easter Collection I brought from Swedish House Crafts.
